Integrate Goose with Live Google Campaign Manager 360 Data via CData Connect AI

Goose is an open source AI agent that runs locally on your machine and works with a wide range of LLM providers. It supports the model context protocol (MCP) through its extensions framework, so you can add external tools and data sources and give the agent access to live systems beyond the model's training data.

By integrating Goose with CData Connect AI through the built-in MCP Server, Goose gains governed, real-time access to live Google Campaign Manager 360 data. You can list catalogs, explore schemas, and query records from Google Campaign Manager 360 data using natural language prompts, with all data access running securely against authorized sources.

This article explains how to configure Google Campaign Manager 360 connectivity in Connect AI, generate the required personal access token, install and set up Goose, add the Connect AI MCP Server as a custom extension, and verify the integration by querying live Google Campaign Manager 360 data from the Goose chat.

Step 1: Configure Google Campaign Manager 360 connectivity for Goose

Connectivity to Google Campaign Manager 360 from Goose is made possible through Connect AI's Remote MCP Server. To interact with Google Campaign Manager 360 data from Goose, start by creating and configuring a Google Campaign Manager 360 connection in Connect AI.

1. Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection

2. Select Google Campaign Manager 360 from the Add Connection panel

3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360.

   Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.

   For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.

   
4. Click Save & Test
5. Navigate to the Permissions tab and update user-based permissions

Add a Personal Access Token

A Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect AI from Goose. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each integration to maintain granular access control.

1. Click the gear icon () at the top right of the Connect AI app to open Settings
2. On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT
3. Give the PAT a descriptive name and click Create

4. Copy the token when displayed and store it securely. It will not be shown again

With the Google Campaign Manager 360 connection configured and a PAT generated, Goose can now connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 data through Connect AI.

Step 2: Install and set up Goose

Next, install Goose, choose an LLM provider, and add the Connect AI Remote MCP Server as a custom extension so the agent can discover and call live data tools through Connect AI.

1. Download and install Goose by following the official installation guide, then launch the application
2. On the Welcome to goose screen, choose an AI provider. Select Use Free/Local Providers to run a local model, or Connect to a Provider to configure a provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, and enter the required API key
3. In the left navigation, click Extensions, then click + Add custom extension
4. In the extension dialog, configure the server with the following values:
   • Extension Name: CData MCP, or any name of your choice
   • Type: Streamable HTTP
   • Endpoint: https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp
5. Under Request Headers, add the following two headers and click + Add after each pair:
   • Authorization: Basic your_base64_encoded_email_PAT
   • Content-Type: application/json

   Note: Goose will use Basic authentication with Connect AI. Combine your Connect AI user email and the PAT you created earlier in the format email:PAT, base64 encode the combined string, and prefix it with Basic. For example, given [email protected]:ABC123...XYZ789, the Authorization header value becomes something like: Basic dXNlckBkb21haW4uY29tOkFCQzEyMy4uLlhZWjc4OQ==

   
6. Click Save to save the configuration
7. Return to the chat, click the extensions icon at the bottom of the chat input, and confirm that the configured MCP is enabled

With the MCP server added and an LLM provider configured, Goose is ready to query live Google Campaign Manager 360 data through Connect AI.

Step 3: Query live Google Campaign Manager 360 data from Goose

With the integration complete, use the Goose chat to interact with live Google Campaign Manager 360 data through natural language prompts handled by the configured LLM.

1. With the CData MCP extension enabled, type a prompt in the chat, for example:
   • List catalogs from my CData MCP
   • Show the available schemas and tables for Google Campaign Manager 360
   • Query the top 5 records from a table in Google Campaign Manager 360 data
2. Goose calls the Connect AI MCP Server and returns live results from Google Campaign Manager 360 data

At this point, your Goose agent communicates with the Connect AI MCP Server and retrieves live Google Campaign Manager 360 data through remote MCP tools directly from the chat.
